What do you think Russian soldiers do when they spot civilians carrying guns like these? RIP

From the footage from reports it seems like plenty of unarmed civilians were killed and/or raped, so likely the same things but with a higher chance of ending up dead before they are able to.

True. But still you have much higher chances of surviving and not being abused by the Russian army as a civilian if don't try to shoot them! This is suicide and should not me romanticized at all

It's not the whole country; it's Crimea and Donbas region, where the vast majority of people speak Russian and voted for pro Russian president before the coup in 2014. This is the way to go for the people, as Elon Musk suggested. The other option is essentially incentivise young people to commit suicide. You think civilians with guns are cool... It's suicide. This is not a movie.

Russia has been sending dissidents into those areas for years to sway perception that they are more pro-Russian than they are. Once those areas are under Russian control, Putin will move onto others. He’s following the plan laid out in Foundation of Geopolitics. Plus, if it was just about those regions, why are they pushing to Kiev?

Bottom line: Ukraine is a sovereign nation and Russia invaded. How would you react if a foreign nation invaded your country?

Russian invading Kiev is an excellent point. But the dissidents being what made the difference in the election in Crimea/Donbas before the war is far fetched. Have a look at the battle field news from non-Western medias in those places. India Times for instance.

Virtually all country borders in the world have been defined by war
